Kristina Werner is a theatre maker and facilitator in education and community settings. In 2015, she graduated with the MA in Applied Theatre from Goldsmiths, University of London. For over 12 years, she has worked with various communities in the UK, Czech Republic, Lithuania and Germany, creating processes and performances that activate the conscious and unconscious potential of the people involved. She often works biographically, seeing it as a way of getting to know others´ perspectives and enabling the participants to work out the universality of their themes and to find a common aesthetic form that reaches the audience.
